It's been a difficult weekend for Arsenal players, fans and the manager. After Saturday's embarrassing performance against Chelsea, Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger uncharacteristically failed to turn up for his post-match press conference. And the club announced that Wenger wouldn't be doing a pre-match press conference for Tuesday's match against Swansea either. Earlier today, Arsenal fans […]

Today's el Clasico had everything — 7 goals, 3 penalties, 1 red card, 1 hat-trick and 1 Leo Messi, with Barcelona shocking many by securing a 4-3 win at the Santiago Bernabeu stadium in Spain's capital. Ronaldo, in his post-match interview, inferred there was a conspiracy: “There were many [refereeing] mistakes. In Madrid-Barca matches must have […]

One year ago, Liverpool beat Tottenham Hotspur 3-2 at Anfield for the Reds first win against a team above them in the table that season.

New photographs of England's home and away shirts that the Three Lions will wear in Brazil at the World Cup this summer have been leaked on the Internet.

Before the Chelsea-Arsenal match, many Gooners were looking forward to the game against Jose Mourinho's team, as they dreamed of a memorable victory in Arsene Wenger’s 1000th game in charge that would take the Gunners to one point behind Chelsea with a game in hand.

Wayne Rooney scored a remarkable goal for Manchester United against West Ham United in the Premier League Saturday with a long-range effort that sailed into the Hammers goal. It was reminiscent of the wonder goal that put David Beckham on the map for Manchester United many years ago against Wimbledon. After playing a key role […]

Referee Andre Marriner made a horrible decision in the London derby between Chelsea and Arsenal today when he mistakenly sent off Kieran Gibbs instead of Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain for a handball in the area. With Chelsea leading 2-0 with early goals by Samuel Eto'o and Andre Schurrle, Chelsea took a shot on goal but it was […]

In January, I wrote an article about how Jozy Altidore's poor form and the fact that Sunderland had gone out and bought another striker was a worrying sign for the US striker's chances of playing in the first team. Since then, Altidore was dropped from the Capital One Cup Final squad and was dropped from […]

This week, Twitter turns 8 years old. Lucky for us they’ve developed a nice little tool that allows you to find the first tweets of anyone who isn’t locked. It’s been great fun, especially seeing how all of the great Twitterers out there started their “legacy”. That being said, here’s a few of the better […]

There was supposed to be a drum-roll. Instead there was an old fashioned New Year's Eve style countdown as the doors were opened to unveil the identity that will carry Major League Soccer's latest expansion team into the future. There is a new badge in town. It represents New York City FC, and designer Rafael […]

In many respects, scrapping down at the bottom of the league is what the game is all about. Only one team can win the title. Only three or four can make it into the Champions League. The rest? Well, it’s a constant look over your shoulder, just hoping to get to a points total that […]

With 10 gameweeks remaining, it might be rash to suggest that the result of one match could determine the destination of Spain’s Primera Division title but, come the end of the season, this weekend’s Clasico in Madrid might in retrospect have had a significant bearing on the final outcome.
